Newly launched “Domain-Driven Design (DDD)” meetup group in Split, in collaboration with the local IT community and the established Coders’ Kitchen meetup, is organizing a series of talks and workshops on gathering user requirements and designing software solutions using the DDD approach.

The first session, “Introduction to Domain-Driven Design (DDD),” will take place on Wednesday, March 5th, 2025, at 7:00 PM at the PICS premises at FESB (Ruđera Boškovića 32, 3rd floor, side entrance). The presentation will last one hour, followed by pizza and drinks provided by the event sponsor, Maurer Electronics Split, to continue the informal gathering.

The speaker is Darko Kantić, a software architect at Maurer Electronics Split. We also thank Digitalna Dalmacija for providing the space for the lecture.

What is DDD?

DDD is an approach to software development. It brings together business experts and developers who collaboratively define and translate a domain model into diagrams. The model is designed in a way that developers can easily implement, while the business knowledge of experts is transformed into working software.

Throughout the process, experts and developers regularly meet to exchange knowledge. The domain is approached through subdomains, each with its own model. Each subdomain has its own boundaries and a specific language.

The language used to describe the model and entities is called the “ubiquitous language.” This means it is used by all participants: developers, business experts, testers, and users. The language is common to the entire team and is used throughout all stages of development.
